M. Patricia Hodge

Mrs. M. Patricia Hodge serves as a senior contracting professional responsible for managing complex procurement actions across specialized manufacturing and technical domains. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical supply chain objectives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. She routinely oversees the acquisition of fabricated metal products, semiconductor components, and precision fluid metering systems, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to align procurement outcomes with operational requirements. Her acquisitions are characterized by a focus on technical specificity, regulatory adherence, and timely delivery of mission-enabling goods. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Mrs. Hodge’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with a diverse pool of manufacturers, including both large industrial suppliers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent technical specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing the capacity to deliver high-precision, low-volume components under tight quality controls. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 76.4% of actions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Nevertheless, she demonstrates meaningful support for small business participation, allocating 22.9% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a small but intentional portion—0.6%—to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach underscores a commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Mrs. Hodge’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), which accounts for over half of her acquisitions, followed by semiconductor manufacturing (334413) and fluid metering systems (334514). Her expertise centers on procuring custom-engineered metal components, electronic sensors, and specialized motorized devices used in industrial, defense, and infrastructure applications, reflecting deep technical fluency in precision manufacturing and electromechanical systems.
